BUT I had a friend who was a couple years older, who hadn't gone to his prom, and regretted it. So I brought him to mine, made myself a fancy dress, and toddled off to the big nite. We had some fun, quickly got bored, ditched the prom and ordered pizza, played caps with fancy imported beer, cause I was a beer snob even then...No golf courses, no hotels, just me and John and a six pack or two. twas grandLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14171996698927828247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576713095937364949.post-17660202410148354502010-05-17T13:04:25.093-04:002010-05-17T13:04:25.093-04:00The highlight of my senior prom was having to driv...The highlight of my senior prom was having to drive my drunk date home EARLY...

The next prom I went to was also so boring, we left early and went straight to the party, which just so happened to not be boring... the evening ended up with me "knodding" off while sitting on a curb in front of a waffle house(good time good times) My senior prom was pretty uneventful, most of my friends didnt even go... my date and I ended the evening after the dance with a game of putt putt golf.Leigh, Andrea Leigh Gilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05627283116565322436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576713095937364949.post-4023698809898820112010-05-17T10:49:58.770-04:002010-05-17T10:49:58.770-04:00I didn't go to my prom.

Some schools handle a theme as dresscode, while others go for the traditional outfit: blue jeans, a black cotton jacket, a black hat (with a red or blue ribbon) and a whistle around the neck. Some even paint their faces and some seniors also carry a spray can (shaving cream or other fluids) to 'attack' the non-seniors with. <br /><br />A noisy march through town is also part of the gig. Later during the day, students perform an act at school, usually a silly show involving school or a parody. <br /><br />In the evening, students head to a rented club to party. This involves dancing, singing and lots of beer to get a taste of fraternity life. Sometimes even teachers join the party to show that they too have a wild side."<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Amazing (how wrong Wikipedia can be or how times have changed)! <br /><br />When I graduated high school we all got our diploma, best wishes from our teachers and that was the whole deal:<br />no fancy clothes, no dinner, no dance.<br /><br />Anyway, the dress looks stunning :)Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01154038964967283580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-576713095937364949.post-14610934796156468132010-05-17T08:30:45.960-04:002010-05-17T08:30:45.960-04:00did I mention Becky next door, although def. fun, ...did I mention Becky next door, although def. fun, also had a shaved head and safety pins in her ears?
